Kristian stepped indoors and sneakily nced at Be.


    “Who else in Seamarsh carries the same repute? However, during my stay, I overheard some details about the rks.


    ”


    “What’s the matter?”


    Noticing Be’s interest, Kristian proceeded, “There’s a tale I heard, ady visited Matthew’s residence, posing as a rtive.


    She might have been an opportunist, aiming to attach herself to Matthew.


    Tragically, she met her demise at the hands of Matthew and his associates.


    “What?” Be eximed, taken aback by his revtion.


    Kristian feigned fear and added, “The scene was terrifying.


    Several men pursued and confronted her, leading to her demise on the street.


    It’s truly dreadful.


    ”


    Be’s countenance darkened as she clutched her chest and inquired, “Is this ount urate?”


    Kristian nodded affirmatively.


    “I refrain from spreading unfounded rumors about the rk family.


    ”


    Be remained silent, her expression grave.


    Kristian advised with concern, “I suggest avoiding Seamarsh in the future and maintaining a distance from the rks.


    Recall that Elizabeth previously upset Ste.


    If Matthew retains any animosity, it could lead toplications.


    ”


    As soon as he finished speaking, a female voice sounded nearby.


    “Don’t speak nonsense.Content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    ”


    Elizabeth descended the stairs and approached them.


    She fixed Kristian with a disapproving gaze.


    “Matthew and Ste are decent individuals.


    You shouldn’t defame them based solely on rumors.


    ”


    Kristian feigned concern and remarked, “Elizabeth, haven’t you been cautioned before? I believe you’re being overly lenient in their defense.


    ”


    Elizabeth gauged Be’s expression and sensed she had effectively persuaded her mother.


    She felt content with the oue.


    She gave a discreet wink to Kristian, signaling for him to cease.


    She didn’t want Be to be suspicious.


    Kristianprehended and promptly halted.


    Elizabeth grasped Be’s arm andforted her.


    “Mom, don’t heed his words.


    ”


    Subsequently, Kristian changed the topic.


    From his suitcase, he produced snacks and offered them to Be, saying, “These are from Seamarsh.


    Try them.


    ”


    Be nced at them but appeared preupied.


    She epted the snacks and forced a smile, saying, “I’ll enjoy themter while working in my room.


    ”


    Observing Be ascend the stairs and vanish from his view, Kristian hastened to Elizabeth and inquired with a ttering smile, “What is your opinion? Did I perform well just now?”


    Elizabeth snorted contemptuously and remarked, “You’re audacious to even mention that.


    You’veplicated matters with that woman.


    Focus on taking care of my mom now.


    I’ll be stepping out for a bit.
